Congratulations to our very own Andrew Tucker who was presented with the 2025-2026 Helen Heare McKinley Employee Excellence Award this morning at Trinity's annual budget meeting! It is well deserved!
The Helen Heare McKinley Employee Excellence Award aims to commend Trinity University staff members who demonstrate exemplary attitude, innovation, and work ethic while efficiently fulfilling their duties, thereby bringing credit to the institution and upholding its core principles. Former student Helen H. McKinley created the award. She attended Trinity University in 1940 at the Waxahachie campus and at the first school session at the San Antonio campus in 1941 prior to further college work at the University of Texas, Austin, and the University of Texas School of Medicine. She felt that she received an excellent education at Trinity University due in large part to those dedicated employees who were not members of the formal faculty, or of the student body. This award is primarily intended to recognize the employees who contribute so much to the success of Trinity University.
